I bought Webster cleaning tool and really have been happy with it...saw this one and it looks the same only cheaper..are they the same in quality? Webster has a metal pole what about this one...

I am extremely pleased with the quality of this duster. Very durable and good quality and a great price. The pole is metal. Not a flimsy aluminum, more of a thicker type.

I just got one of these. It came with packaging around the head saying "the original Webster", made by the company Ettore. Our original Webster had a two section metal handle that extended to 5 feet. This one has a three piece metal handle that extends to 9"9". Because of the longer handle this one is heavier than the first one we are used to, but I love the length. Its great for our 15" ceilings. The original short Webster is called a "Dazzle duster" and sold on Amazon. Ettore is a longtime maker of quality squeegees and window cleaning equipment. Hint- when cobweb hunting, use a powerful flashlight to see them. Makes a great husband and wife project. I just got one of these.

yes, it has a metal pole, just a longer one. It seems to be the same quality as the regular webster. I have both and the cleaning heads seem identical.

Yes the pole is made of metal. I have been very pleased with this product even considering buying another one for use outside. I generally use the one I have to clean inside the house especially around the molding in a two story foyer.

I can't give you a comparison answer, since I've never owned a Webster. I am really happy with this one, I bought it for the spider webs that I cannot reach, and it is doing a fantastic job. It is pretty sturdy.

I don't know if it is the same one or not, but I would say that I would never buy it again. It's fine for dust, but anything bigger than a speck of a crumb won't be picked up. If you do get it picked up, don't lift the vacuum or it will all fall out. I really don't like it. I have owned more simple sweepers that did a better job. Keep in mind that it is a dust buster snapped onto a handle.

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

Connie c thanks for the update and product feedback. This kit is about the same price as just the groom tool so know that I know it is the same tool I will take a chance and order it!

Hi Thelma, I didn't do any comparison shopping at physical stores. I just ordered from DrillBrush here at Amazon. I think this will link you to their store: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_hpc?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Drillbrush&node;=3760901

I have been researching this quite a bit. It appears they are the same basic vacuum cleaner. They have the same motor, same dimensions, same weight, same cord length, everything. They even have the same user manual (as per the Hoover website). I can find only two differences: 1) The U6485900 ("Blue") one on this page does have a dirt finder while the more expensive UH50000 ("Silver") turbo power one does not have that feature. 2) While both vacuums have the identical Turbine Hand Tools, the Silver one calls it "Pet Hair Tool." Sounds like a gimmick to me. The information I found is directly from the Hoover website (each page has links to download the user manual which has different numbers, but turns out to be identical in content). Blue: http://hoover.com/products/details/u6485900/anniversary-windtunnel-self-propelled-bagged-upright/ Silver: http://hoover.com/products/details/uh50000/anniversary-windtunnel-self-propelled-bagged-upright/ Personally, I'm buying the blue one.

Both are the same, except wood vs aluminum pole. I bought the aluminum. Worked well. BUT....I bought when they $20 w/free delivery. I would not buy for $39 w/ $16 delivery. They are nice at $20, but not for $55. Look elsewhere.

The jawhorse appears to be a "knockoff" or "improvement" depending on your view of the Triton "Super Jaws." If you google for "Stu's shed Jawhorse review" you can see a nice comparison between the two tools.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

Home Depot and lowes are a rip off. They may be cheaper because its not the same product. They just pay Makita so they can sell them . It's a knock off brand made to look like Makita.

I have this tool and it works perfect. I would not buy a cheaper model or one made of plastic as the tool needs to be sturdy.

I was just looking at the bristles today and I'm pretty sure it's something like Rayon or Nylon, not horsehair. Regardless, It's an awesome tool! It gets into all the corners, nooks and crannies. I am not disappointed. If you can find horsehair for only an extra $20, I'd say go for it.

I think it actually comes down to the seller, and maybe this one is covered by prime? It's the newer model of the two and offers more torque. In fact I priced this drill at Home Depot before I purchased it on Amazon and it was about $70 out of store. This is one of the few Ryobi products that is actually cheaper in Amazon. And as much as I use mine, it has been a great investment.

The comparisons I made were based on what I needed in a cleaner and the price. I chose this model because of the lift-off feature, pet cleaning equipment and because its a deep cleaner. The price was great in comparison to store and other on-line prices, and free shipping with Amazon. I'm very happy with my choice around. Hope this helps.

As far as I can ascertain it is exactly the same model. I have purchased on Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond (an extra mop) and Lowe's (extra mop heads) and my take is that they are all the same. I cannot imagine how hard you would have to scrub your floor to break the mop. I'm thinking maybe those who have had theirs break need to clean a little more often. Just a thought. So far I really love mine and no longer use anything else. My floors gleam -- even with 8 indoor cats!

I only know that the mop I purchased from a Vacumn Center store is well made. If it is not like the one on Amazon I cannot answer that. But the one I have..I like.

Since I have both I would say the E-tool is better when it comes to utility. It is more versatile. Given my experience with Gerber though it probably is more durable and higher quality. The e-tool typically lasts me a year and then I have to replace it. I do tend to abuse it though and usually will opt for the cheaper knock-off version as opposed to the branded version which is a little more expensive and is probably better made.
